Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet, French cinema power couple, call it quits
PARIS — Oscar winner Marion Cotillard and actor-director Guillaume Canet announced their separation Friday after 18 years and two children together, breaking up a power relationship of French cinema.
Cotillard won an Academy Award in 2008 for her performance as the legendary French singer Edith Piaf in 'La Vie en Rose' and is one of France's best-known stars internationally. She starred with Brad Pitt in the World War II romantic thriller 'Allied' and Leonardo DiCaprio in 'Inception.'
Canet has acting, directing and screenplay credits and played in 'The Beach' with DiCaprio.
The 49-year-old Cotillard and 52-year-old Canet starred together in the French-Belgian film 'Love Me If You Dare' in 2003, a breakthrough box-office hit in France for her.
They began dating in 2007.
They announced their separation in a statement to the Agence France-Presse news agency that said they made the split public 'to avoid all speculation, rumors and risky interpretations.'
It did not give a reason but said they were separating by 'common accord' and with 'mutual goodwill.'
France-based agents for Cotillard and Canet did not respond to emails from The Associated Press.

15 Things Hilary Swank Loves, Including An Odd Beauty Essential
Shop Like is a column in which Forbes Vetted asks some of the most stylish and notable personalities about their favorite items to buy, gift and receive. Look no further for shopping advice and inspiration. W ith 2-year old twins to raise and five rescue dogs to manage, actress Hilary Swank is all about surrounding herself with efficient and safe products to help simplify her family's routine, coupled with some fun and unique items that keep herself feeling good and her kids entertained. 'I'm spending most of my days watching my twins [daughter Aya and son Ohm] learn about themselves and the world around them,' says Swank. 'It's a joy unlike anything I ever could have imagined.' When she's not engrossed with her kids or working, Swank can be found taking long walks with her dogs, tending to her garden or home improvement projects, and hanging out with her husband, entrepreneur Philip Schneider. 'Life is very full, I am very blessed,' she says. Health and longevity have always been near and dear to her heart, which parlayed perfectly into her joining HealthyBaby, a nontoxic diaper and baby care brand, as chief innovation officer. 'When I'm not on set or developing film projects, my work with HealthyBaby is incredibly inspiring and exciting for me,' she says. 'To be part of a company that is on the forefront of making healthy products for babies and women feeds my soul.' Despite her decades-long success as an Oscar-winning actress, Swank says she lives a pretty normal day-to-day, which she attributes to her 'messy mom chic' style. 'Many times out in public, I'm asked if I'm aware I look like Hilary Swank,' she laughs. 'No one believes I'm me, as I don't think I'm fitting their expectation of how I should be dressed. It's my secret disguise!' Below, Swank shares some of her favorite products to buy, gift and receive, including plenty of longevity equipment, some fashion staples and the products that keep her kids entertained and healthy. Hilary Swank's Favorite Things — A Custom Necklace That She Cherishes Daily 'My favorite jewelry and jeweler, who also makes beautiful custom pieces [is Haverhill]. I have a necklace with both my babies' names hanging together that I got when they were born and wear constantly. Having a timeless, curated piece like this that I can wear forever is so special.' Haverhill 5 Letter Necklace $858 A Set Of Chemical-Free Cookware 'I bought these healthy nonstick pans for my mom so she could cook confidently without forever chemicals that most generic pans are coated with, which seep into our food.' Caraway Cookware Set (12-Piece) $445 The Ultimate Ice Cream Maker 'We love ice cream but are dairy-free, so to satisfy our sweet tooth without a bunch of added refined sugars, dairy and unhealthy additives, we make our own ice cream using just fruit and raw coconut, and it tastes better than the store-bought processed stuff!' Ninja Creami $200 Her Single-Step Mama Makeup Routine 'I don't typically wear makeup, but when I do, I opt for something simple, and it has to be all-natural. This 100% mineral sunscreen with non-nano zinc oxide has the perfect amount of tint to even out my complexion and give me a nice glow. It's my one-step mama makeup routine!' RMS Beauty SunCoverup Super Tint SPF 50 $49 An Incredibly Fun Toy For Lake Life 'Living on a lake, my husband and I love our hydrofoil board. It enables us to surf (and hover!) without needing waves.

Fliteboard From $10,340 The Mack Daddy Of Wellness Equipment 'I chose to have children later in life, which drives my commitment to staying healthy, energetic and fully present as they grow. I support that through daily meditation, aerobic and resistance training, whole-food nutrition and evidence-based technologies that promote long-term vitality. My hyperbaric chamber, backed by clinical research for its role in cellular repair, inflammation reduction and longevity, was one of the most impactful investments I could make—not just for myself, but for my family.' OxyHelp Hyperbaric Chamber Price Upon Request Her Uncommon Favorite Beauty Product 'This is going to sound strange, but it's my gym. Working out releases a ton of hormones that boost your emotions and your skin's appearance. It even increases collagen production, which repairs skin cells, firming up your skin. Last I checked, there's no single beauty product out there that can do all this. If I had to choose one piece of equipment, it'd be either the AmStaff Fitness SD-5000 All-In-One Smith Machine or the AmStaff Leg Press Hack Squat.' AmStaff Fitness SD-5000 All-In-One Smith Machine $6,430 Her Travel (And Life) Essential 'These earplugs are a lifesaver! I discovered them at a little corner store when I was living in Paris, and thankfully you can buy them online now. They're also great for travel.' Quies Wax Earplugs $12 What She's Currently Reading ' Raising Securely Attached Kids by Eli Harwood provides such an important message about resilience, empathy and staying connected while raising our children.' Raising Securely Attached Kids by Eli Harwood $15 An Emergency Must-Have 'We discovered these zero-waste batteries and keep them on hand for all our office supplies. Batteries are so wasteful and don't decompose, so this company has created something truly special with their built-in recycling program.' Better Battery Co. Variety Pack $30 A Unique Way To Keep The Twins Entertained 'Our kids love music, and I thought it would be fun to learn a new instrument alongside them, so I have taken up the banjo, which I've always wanted to learn, and it's been such a great reminder of how important it is to never stop learning new things—and that it's never too late to try.'

Tumi Alpha 3 Collection Dual Access Continental Carry-On $1,050 The Vitamins That Got Her Through Her Pregnancy 'Fifteen percent of prenatal vitamins contain lead, exceeding California's Proposition 65 threshold of 0.5 micrograms per serving.

These are the only prenatal vitamins I trust, and they have different formulas based on your needs for every stage of your pregnancy journey.' HealthyBaby Our Prenatal: Preconception & 1st Trimester $85 The Laundry Staple She Swears By 'One thing about me is that I take a lot of pride in my laundry.

HealthyBaby Laundry System $35 Item She Can't Live Without As A Mother To Twins 'Obviously this changes a lot at different ages, but right now it's the Buckle Me Baby coats: This one-mama-owned small business took a common struggle and safety concern and solved it in style. Her Buckle Me Baby car seat coats have a front panel, which allows a harness to fit securely around a child's chest and shoulders rather than on top of a bulky winter coat. Which not only is more comfortable for the children but also solves a huge safety concern during a collision—the impact typically flattens the puffiness of jackets, which creates space, and therefore kids are prone to flying out of their coat/car seat.'

Lalo Schifrin, Composer of ‘Mission: Impossible' Theme, Dead at 93
Lalo Schifrin, the Oscar-nominated and Grammy-winning composer behind the 'Theme From Mission: Impossible,' has died at the age of 93. The composer's son Ryan confirmed his father's death to the Associated Press, adding that Schifrin died Thursday due to complications from pneumonia at his home in Los Angeles. More from Rolling Stone Rebekah Del Rio, 'Mulholland Drive' Singer of 'Llorando,' Dead at 57 Bobby Sherman, Teen Music and Television Star, Dead at 81 Patrick Walden, Babyshambles Guitarist, Dead at 46 The Buenos Aires, Argentina-born Schifrin, the son of an orchestral violinist, had an early start in music, training on the piano at the age of six. However, upon entering college, Schifrin opted to study law, but his musical roots ultimately took hold. 'While advancing with my law studies, I was also studying music on the side, only as a hobby. And I had a very good teacher, who is probably the most important South American composer—Juan Carlos Paz. He's known among avant-garde circles all over the world, because he's the one who introduced twelve–tone music and the serial techniques in Argentina,' Schifrin told Jazz Professional in 1967. 'All of a sudden, the French Embassy in Buenos Aires offered a scholarship to the Conservatoire of Music. I went for the examination and won the scholarship. That meant that I abandoned my plans for a law career, and I decided to go to Europe.' In Paris, Schifrin became immersed in jazz music, as many of the greats of the time — Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson — would regularly perform during his time there. Upon returning to Argentina, Schifrin joined one of the country's first jazz orchestras, where he drew the attention of a visiting jazz legend, Dizzy Gillespie. Schifrin, who at that time was already scoring Argentinean films, eventually joined Gillespie's band. 'I stayed with Dizzy about three years,' he said. 'In addition to writing many things for the small group, I rearranged his band book for a type of orchestra with no saxophones in it—only brass,' compositions that formed Gillespie's 1960 LP Gillespian, and resulted in Schifrin's first Grammy nomination (for Best Original Jazz Composition). Schifrin moved to New York and worked alongside Gillespie from 1960 to 1963. (Schifrin and Gillespie would reunite for 1977's Free Ride.) However, dissatisfied with the traveling involved with being in a jazz group, Schifrin signed a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer, moved to Los Angeles, and scored his first American film, 1964's Rhino! Two years later, Schifrin created his most popular work, the theme from the American spy series Mission: Impossible,' which — the composer frequently admitted — he wrote in just three minutes, and without first seeing any footage from the series or even reading a script. All Schifrin had to go on was producers' idea for an opening credits' burning fuse, which gave the theme its original title, 'Burning Fuse.' (Morse Code of the series' initials, M:I, would also form the theme's 5/4 signature.) 'Television, in those days, people were in the kitchen having a soft drink, and all of the sudden in the living room, the TV set is playing the theme of a new show,' Schifrin said, adding that the 'inviting, exciting' theme was like a lure. Like the series itself, 'Theme From Mission: Impossible' was a hit, landing on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning Schifrin a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Theme; the song would also be inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. (Decades later, the TV show would also eventually become a billion-dollar Tom Cruise film franchise, and though it updated Schifrin's theme, the composer did not contribute musically to any of the reboot's installments.) Over the course of his career, Schifrin would score over 200 films and television shows, and while some would lean on his jazz background — like his work on the 1968 Steve McQueen classic Bullitt and his Oscar-nominated score for Cool Hand Luke, notably its famed 'Tar Sequence' — Schifrin would adapt musically to fit the project, like his experimental work on George Lucas' sci-fi flick THX-1138 and his terrifying score for The Amityville Horror; the composer was infamously recruited to originally score The Exorcist, but upon delivering a portion of his music, the studio and director William Friedkin deemed the shrieking score too scary for even the film and rejected. 'I look for unusual sounds—but never as gimmicks. I like always to make them functional, organic parts of the music,' Schifrin told Jazz Professional. 'It can be percussion, it can be bizarre or exotic instruments, or it can be electronic instruments—but I look for that musical quality, that can be combined, and be organic to the film, to the orchestra and to the music.' Other notable Schifrin scores include Dirty Harry and its sequel Magnum Force, 1973's Charley Varrick, the Bruce Lee kung fu classic Enter the Dragon, Brubaker, the Rush Hour trilogy, Carlos Saura's Tango, the Ringo Starr-starring Caveman and more. 'I've used something in the periphery of jazz myself—not really jazz, but some jazz–orientated scores, like Bullitt, the picture with Steve McQueen. And a little bit of jazz in certain other movies,' Schifrin said. 'But jazz doesn't need anything to be seen, while film–making is made up of many components. There are the dramatic, the visual and the audio elements: they have to be all integrated, and be part of the one thing.' Despite winning a handful of Grammys, the Academy Award remained elusive: Schifrin was nominated for Best Original Score six times — for Cool Hand Luke, The Fox, Voyage of the Damned, The Amityville Horror, The Competition and The Sting II — but never won an Oscar. However, the Academy celebrated Schifrin's career with an honorary Oscar in 2019. 'I love music. To me there is no labels,' Schifrin said in 1969. 'I don't believe in rock n' roll or classical or jazz. I believe that there is good music and bad music.'

New ‘The Bear' Season Features Mutant Carmy Terrorizing Chicago After Falling Into Vat Of Beef Juice
CHICAGO—With the fourth season of the hit FX show now streaming, viewers reportedly tuned into new episodes of The Bear Wednesday and watched a mutant Carmen Berzatto terrorize Chicago after falling into a vat of beef juice. 'This year we decided to go in a different direction with Carmy, who has up until now been portrayed as an anxiety-ridden twentysomething chef who thrives on chaos, rather than as a hybrid human-meat creature of nightmarish proportions,' show creator Christopher Storer said of Jeremy Allen White's character, who in the season premiere undergoes a grotesque transformation after slipping—or, spoiler, possibly being pushed—off some rickety ceiling rafters into a gurgling tank of Italian beef juice that has been left precariously uncovered by Carmy's mistake-prone kitchen staff. 'This was an acting challenge for Jeremy, who essentially had to play a whole new role because Carmy is now a 60-foot-tall tangle of flesh and chuck roast hell-bent on destroying the city as he searches for more giardiniera to feast on. At the same time, he needed to maintain the nuance of an emotionally tormented prodigy grappling with the grief hidden somewhere deep inside the wet, pulsing French bread that has fused with his skin.' 'Without giving too much away, fans can expect the usual kitchen drama as Carmy, now known to horrified onlookers as 'Mutant Beef Guy,' struggles to balance his work life as a purveyor of fine dining with his personal life as an ungodly, succulent affront to nature,' Storer continued. 'Prepare for your emotions to swell as Mutant Beef Guy watches Claire from the shadows, knowing she will never love him now that he's an abomination. Meanwhile, Sydney is the only person who can communicate with the grunting, massive regional delicacy and see the capacity for Michelin-level plating beyond his deformed exterior. As she struggles to cover for him in the kitchen, she must also fend off the evil sandwich poachers who want to place him in captivity.' Saying they enjoyed the climactic showdown between Mutant Beef Guy and Dr. Sausage atop the Willis Tower, many viewers also praised the season four finale's post-credit scene, which hints at a future spinoff in which the two join forces to fight hunger as 'The Combo.'
